Book the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo with VIP Benefits

There's no destination to experience the epitome of contemporary luxury in Japan than the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo. As it is the Tokyo branch of the famous Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, there's a large piece of Japanese culture.

There is an affinity for nature in every corner of this luxury hotel. However, one of the most intriguing attributes remains the oddly exciting spatially distorted feel and the interior's futuristic decor.

Overview

Mandarin Oriental Tokyo occupies the top nine floors of the Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower. This tower sits in the Nihonbashi district and is home to Tokyo's most original department stores. The district has the bustling Ginza as its neighbor and the Tokyo Station and Tokyo Stock Exchange a quick ride away.

On entering the hotel, there's an unmistakable nod to Japan's fascination for nature. Interior designer, Reiko Sudo's design of the tower is akin to that of a tree. Moreover, the ground floor entrance is decorated with richly textured motifs, wall coverings, and fabrics that conjure thoughts of tree roots.

Guests can take the high-speed lift to the Cesar Pelli-designed 38th-floor lobby. The view wows as it showcases the megalopolis's best angles. Standing in the center of the lobby gives a surreal view of the endless cityscape stretching out in all directions.

To the east, the check-in desk has a glass backdrop framing the Tokyo Skytree. To the west, another floor-to-ceiling window shows the Imperial Palace Gardens. Besides, there is Mount Fuji in the distance behind a vast urban skyline.

Just as a tower resembles a tree, the lobby resembles a tree's canopy. Besides, the exceptional attention-to-detail public spaces like bars and eateries signify the tree's branches, spreading out in the most ethereal way.

Rooms and Suites

Mandarin Oriental Tokyo boasts one of Japan's largest accommodations, with 157 guest rooms and 21 suites designed and perfectly equipped. Seven floors encompass these rooms and are only accessible via an exclusive elevator from the Sky Lobby.

Each room and suite has a spectacular view of Tokyo and its districts. In addition, guests can enjoy home-grown grapes from Osaka, a perfect fruity introduction. The rooms are elegantly decorated with wooden bedside tables and a large and supple king-size bed. Moreover, nature-themed fabrics cover the walls.

The sakura or cherry blossom motifs on the headboards further stress the general theme of the hotel. To experience more Japanese traditions, guests can find cotton yukatas with belts in polished boxes beside the bed.

Entertainment and communication are not lost, as each room has a wide LCD TV, wireless internet access, and sophisticated audiovisual equipment. Room service is available 24 hours.

Additionally, the bathrooms do not disappoint. You can close its glass wall backdrop with the push of a button for utmost privacy.
